a fashion blog from Halifax

Who we are

Ally & L-A are friends who live in Halifax. They have opinions about fashion and they want to share them with the world. Sometimes serious, often humorous, this a blog about the styles and fashions they love and love to hate. They publish three days a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with the occasional bonus post for big events.

The name of the blog is a shout out to HRM legend Joel Plaskett and his song ‘Fashionable People’. We heart Joel and we definitely heart the song. L-A firmly believes it should be on a Gossip Girl soundtrack.

So, exactly who are the ladies behind Fashionable People?

Ally: Halifax native, trained in PR and known for her awesome style. Part of this style comes from her tendancy towards ridiculously expensive shoe purchases. She also has the unique ability to hide said shoe purchases from her loving husband with such believable excuses as, “These? My coworker bought them for me!”. Her living room is cluttered with back copies of Vogue, Elle, Fashion and Nylon magazines. Throwing these out would result in divorce. Her dream job is to open a second hand thrift store full of incredible designer vintage. She has recently opened her own PR business.

L-A: is actually Lesley-Anne Steeleworthy. That’s a lot of name, which is why she often goes by L-A. Originally from Newfoundland, L-A was trained as a journalist and is currently studying to be a PR pro like Ally. She adores fashion mags and spends far too much time online looking at clothes and handbags that she can’t afford. The love of fashion started early with her first magazine subscription to Flare when she was only ten years old. At the time, she thought she’d grow up to be a designer and would draw designs for her Barbies and used Fashion Plates obsessively. While her fear of the sewing machine put design dreams on hold, her love of fashion (and writing about herself in the third person) has never waned. She’s just focused that love into online fashion journalism. She also makes and sells crafty things.

Soooo glad to have found this site! I too obsess about fashion and have done since superstar barbie (circa 1978) couldn’t find a thing to wear on her date with Ken! I just had to help her out and make her a skirt out of a tea towel. Sigh, good times.

Hi FPQT! I don’t know if you’ve seen the Liebster Blog Award process (it’s everywhere on WordPress) but it’s a fun way for blogs to get more exposure and connect with others who are blogging (not that you need it!) I’ve nominated your site. If you want to play, just follow the link: http://popcorndinner.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/liebster-award/
